The

GPMG live ammunition, 1,016 rounds of AK-47 live ammunition, one AK-47
empty magazine, one K-2 empty magazine and one bullet-proof vest were

Ezike explained that on September 8, 2017, the
operatives of the command’s Special Anti-Robbery Squad arrested Iyaka at
Egbelu Awaka, in the Owerri North LGA following intelligence
information.

The CP said, “On September 8, operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad arrested the suspect at Egbelu Awaka.

“When a search was conducted in his house, many items were recovered.

“The
quantity and calibre of exhibits recovered underscores the need for
community vigilance, surveillance and strategic information flow.”

Acting
President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, has assured the nation that President
Muhammadu Buhari is hale and hearty and would return home as soon as he
completes the necessary tests recommended by his doctors in the United
Kingdom.

Prof. Osinbajo gave the assurance on Monday when State
House correspondents approached him for a chat shortly after his
telephone conversation with the president.
